RIP, Rocky Raccoon

BeerGirl and I went to the Soulard farmers' market a while ago when we saw this sign.  Click to enbiggen.


There is a lot to unpack with this sign but what I am most curious about is how many times they were asked "Hey, do you have raccoon meat?" that they were compelled to put up a sign.  I guess they finally got tired of having to say "For the last time, YES."  And who knew that there were so many farmers' market patrons clamoring for raccoon meat.  We chose not to peruse their wares.

Finally. Clothing Tag Humor.

BeerGirl bought a dress off the interwebs and when it arrived, she found this.


I do have to say, it would be a very ineffective napkin.

What we have here is a box of Sugar In The Raw, 2 lb. box.  Please note the best by date: 06/21/2387A.  I had no idea that sugar would stay good for several centuries but, as a student of life, I'm always learning new things.

Tom Tucker's Son's Parking Space

Today's contribution comes from longtime correspondent, Shu.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


He writes:
Parking space at a pharmacy in New Bern, N.C. If anyone can think of any definition for this sign, be my guest. But you can't park here.

It's Not The Size Of Your Ticket...

I saw this sign in a local parking garage recently and something about it caught my eye.  You may click the picture to enbiggen.


The wording on it is just fine but that icon in the upper right seems off.  Is this place issuing poster-sized tickets?  I've never seen one that takes two hands to carry.  Perhaps that is the international symbol for parking ticket and I've just never seen it before. So many questions.
